By TMZ special to Doghouse Boxing. The woman Floyd Mayweather Jr. beat in front of their children is a forgiving soul, claiming she no longer holds a grudge and wants to bury the hatchet.

Josie Harris tells us, she and Floyd are trying to
put their fighting past behind them so they can raise their three kids
in a stable environment.

You'll recall ... Floyd was popped back
in 2010 after Josie accused him of striking her "multiple times in the
head with his fist" and then threatening to kill her. Josie and Floyd's
children were present.

Floyd later pled guilty to misdemeanor domestic violence and served two months in jail.

Now Josie says, "S**t happens. I'm not mad at him at all ... I love Floyd to death."

She
adds, "[Floyd] loves his kids and is a great father. He would never do
anything like that again ... I'm sorry the situation happened ... now we
will just progress and start over and move forward together."
